Aston Villa v Leeds Utd Match Thread - James up front with Rodrigo at ten

[Madron]

Blimey .The way Rio and Cole are going on about the Villa players you'd think we're playing Brazil tonight.

[The Subhuman]

We have 8 on the graphic I have.

Graphic top of page one gives 9 names

Klassen, Roberts, Gelhardt, Hjelde, Kennah Shackleton, Forshaw, Bate, McKinstry

[whiteswan]

I can't help it Hector

Me neither Chilli. I get all angst and can't watch. I've always been the same where Leeds are concerned.

[1964white]

Just seen the team, can i change my prediction to a 2-0 defeat !

MB is one stubborn git .

Are you sure you want to change your prediction?

If so, please post your change on the Leeds Correct Score thread.

[Chilli D]

I just hope we see Gelhardt and Forshaw as the first two off the bench.

We won't

[joelufc20]

Pathetic lineup, weak as piss midfield 4 players out of position. He’s thrown the game already.

[Boo Radley]

If Forshaw is fit, why not start him?

[Mick Jones shoulder]

All the speculation of who would play.

I posted somewhere on here, we'd start with the same line-up as the Newcastle game

Predictable if nothing else 64.

[WhiteRose]

I don’t like to have a go at the lineup before we play, we have had weeks to work on it and I expect a better performance than the Newcastle game. can usually tell in the first 10 whether we have turned up or not.

[1964white]

Predictable if nothing else 64.

Three tactical subs :

Roberts, Gelhardt, Forshaw

[SnifferClarke]

Disappointed Forshaw's not starting, settle for a draw, 2-2.

[Ellandback1]

[1964white]

Predictable if nothing else 64.

To be fair, Bielsa has picked the same team after a defeat or a poor performance previously & we've gone to an improved display & won games.

[Tyzy]

Are you sure you want to change your prediction?

If so, please post your change on the Leeds Correct Score thread.

I'll be optimistic and keep it the same,knee jerk reaction from seeing James as striker !

[Overman]

To be fair, Bielsa has picked the same team after a defeat or a poor performance previously & we've gone to an improved display & won games.

Let's hope it's one of those occasions tonight. The midfield looks weak as piss and James as loan striker should terrify their defence. This has a Leeds win written all over it.

[Lumiukko]

I'm not so optimistic about this one. AV have a very good team, and we will have to go some to not concede.

[DDB220]

My issue with Rodrigo and Klich is their propensity to give away the ball far too often. We will see.

[velo]

Shakey start

[White Riot]

Poorly defended corner but good save by Mes

[1964white]

The usual slow start.
